Published 2021
Doing Research in Sound Design (1st edition), 94 - 106
Sound design research methods can vary considerably depending on the nature of the field of practice. A semiotic method provides a valuable approach to sound design in that it accounts for the individual differences in interpretation of sound stimuli, and is one which can be applied to a range of sound usages such as film and television, interactive, auditory display and product sound design. At its heart is a fundamental belief that there are building blocks of thought and perception which shape our ability to make meaning from any sign, including sounds.
